Paul’s Companions, (w . 1-6.) Paul’s coming to tills city after his experiences In Athens is significant when wo read I Cor, 2:1, 2. He found a home as usual at first among his Jewish countrymen. Aquila and. Priscilla were not only fellow Chris­ tians but fellow craftsmen (v. 3). Paul supported himself, os Jesus did for 80 years, as a carpenter. This gave opportunity to reach the people natu­ rally as one of them. At the same time ho set them the example of do­ ing good (I Cor. 10:31; I Cor, 0:0-12; H Thess. 2-9). Paul did not think It a, .lack of faith to do manual labor or secular work for his own support be­ cause God hud called him to preach,' fn the midst of his labors (v. 5) Silas and Timothy came to him ‘from Philippi and Berea. .The PhlUpplans had sent him aid and brought news of the abundant harvest o f faith and love In that church.* Paul was weak, and sick and dejected In spirit (H Cor, 2:3), probably bodily sickness. He was also In want <H Cor. 11:9), As he meditated on the word* It had so got hold on him that he could not keep still, •It overpowered him with the thought that Jesus was the Christ and that he must tell it out, but the Jews were not willing to receive his testimony. “They opposed them­ selves and blasphemed,” (v. 6), The good news these helpers brought en­ couraged him in his conflict" (v. 6). II. Paul's Compulsion, (w . 7-11). The opposition of the Jews did not prove his testimony to be •untrue or that It had been unwisely presented, butrrather it revealed the Iniquity of the hearts,of the men who’ were the religious leaders. .To their faces Paul could exclaim, “I am dean,” (v. 0). It Is a great thing for any man to be able to say this, and it is the priv­ ilege of every believer (Acts 20:26). Then we can say with Paul: “I shrank not from declaring unto you the whole counsel of God.” (It, V.) If we do not declare unto men the way of life, then their blood Is upon us (Ezekiel 33:4, 8, 9), but are we Indeed clean of the blood of all In our own homes, In our • churches, In out Sunday school classes, iu our communities nnd in the lands beyond the sea? This compul­ sion disconnected Paul from the false religionists'of his day. “Prom hence­ forth I-will goruhto the Gentiles.” The advantage of the house of Justus was (a) that the owner'was a proselyte; not a born Jew. (b) The pltfce was close to the synagogue so that his preaching would be a Standing Invita­ tion to the Jews, and (c) Justus was evidently a Roman citizen, and Paul would gain access through him to the more educated people of the city. Moreover he would have greater ad­ vantage of the Romans than of the Jews ;for protection of the Christian converts. We do not Infer that he left bis lodgings in the home of’Aqulla nnd Priscilla nor ceased his work o f tent making. Paul’s testimony after Athens was based only on the cross (I Cor. 2 :1, 2) nnd It was that which turned “Impure, sinful souls into pure brides whom be conducted to Qbrlst,” (See I Cor, 6 :0- 11 ). This vision kept Paul In the city where he founded one of his strongest classes (vv. 11,18). III. Paul's Contest, (W. 12-17). Gallio, the brother of Seneca, listened to the charges, but threw the accusa­ tions out of court (vv. 14, 15). Sir William Ramsey calls this decision the “ charter of Christian freedom." Free­ dom of religious speech was granted over the entire Roman empire so far as Roman authorities were concerned, and the door was open for Paul to make his way throughout the'civilized world. Thus we hayo further evidence that all of Corinth was no match for ( Christ. The Lord had people there who must be called by the spoken word, and Paul was the one to speak the word. ’ The Lord only allows us to be hurt when both we and the work can. be helped thereby. He never really allows us to be hurt (Rom, 8:13; Isaiah 64:17). Christian workers In this land are confronting the same Corinthian evils In every great city; Intemperance, crime, graft* dishonesty, white slavery, oppression of the poor and other works of the flesh. It Is the business o f every preacher and Christian to pray and teach and work and live to save men from these evils and to convert them to right­ eousness, There are also Corinthian evils in the heart, and In order to overcome them we must put on the whole ar* (inor of God, and he filled with the Spirit of Christ. Summary: At Corinth Paul worked at his trade, converted his fellow work­ men, preached to Jews and Gentiles, founded a strong church* wrote' let­ ters to the Thessalonlaus, had two helpers, Silas and Timothy, accepted aid from the PhlUpplans, received a vision In the flight from God, was de­ livered by the Roman governor, stayed 'neatly two years nnd used the city 'as a strategic center, S ir 2$&fft* Tin M Yll H mi AtoptWtkt BeKrS tho Signature of —LOST:--In Gedarville or on Mi* Golumkus pike a Mu* serge coAt.
